The White House has not confirmed reports of a small batch of ATACMS missiles being delivered to Ukraine

A White House spokesperson has not confirmed journalists' reports that a small batch of ATACMS long-range missiles has been delivered to Ukraine.

Karin Jean-Pierre said this during a briefing at the White House.

On September 22, NBC News reported that Biden told Zelenskyy that the United States would provide these missiles in small quantities. Three US officials and a congressional representative told the journalists.

Karin Jean-Pierre said that Biden had explained on several occasions that the transfer of ATACMS was likely in the future. But there are no new decisions on this.

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan also said that there was no decision on the transfer of ATACMS to Ukraine on the eve of the meeting between the US and Ukrainian presidents.
